It's time for another Sunday Song. Everyone covers this tune but I haven't seen many do it on a CBG. I had to tune the instrument A-D-G-B to get it to work. I also simplified a couple chords, but I think the arrangement still coveys the original song.The Weight was originally recorded by The Band.

I haven't tried DGBE yet Derek but I've been contemplating it. I think it would be good for chords. I really like ADGB. I may leave this guitar in that tuning permanently.
I mostly use DGBE, like a bari uke aka Chicago tuning to a tenor banjo, for my 4's. And you learn to do the walk downs. They are there just in different places. :)
Thanks Derek. And yes... it seemed like the easiest way to transpose the song to 4 strings. The only difficult part then was the walk down which I had to move up the scale since the low string isn't there.
Good cover Poorness. Looks like some work to get that tuning transposed though being middle strings of standard for a 6 maybe not too complicated. Nice full chunky sound. I think Andries uses this tuning a lot.

Thanks RTZ. Thanks Richard. I wasn't sure I could do this one justice so I appreciate the compliments guys.
Was this a band reunion or what! Wonderful, complete with backup vocal inserts.
Can't hear this song without smiling thanks
